Continuation oi? application Seriali No. 339,152, February 11, 31929.This application December 2'2, 1932. Serial No. fidiifiliil 1 Claim.

This invention relates to an improved automotive appliance constructedfor disposition between an intake manifold and exhaust manifold, andmade to reduce fuel consumption, and to minimize carbon deposit, astructure which may be conveniently entitled a fuel saver anddecarbonizer. The present application is a continuation of my priorapplication for U. S. Letters Patent Ser. No. 339,152, filed February11,

In carrying out the invention I provide an unusually simplifiedarrangement of parts so associated and designed as to conduct heated airfrom the vicinity of an exhaust manifold into the intake manifold, afterpassing said air through an especially designed casing and container forchemicals.

My principal aim is to generally improve upon inventions of this classby providing a practical modernized, simplified structure composed ofseparable inexpensive parts co-related and cooperating in a manner tobetter fulfill the requirements of an invention of this particularclassification.

Other features and advantages will become more readily apparent from thefollowing description and drawing.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a motor equipped with a deviceconstructed in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 2 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view through the centralportion of the device.

In Figure 2 the reference character 3 designates a casing or containerfor the chemical, such as camphorated balls 4. This is composed ofcomplemental frusto-conical sections 5 and 6 respectively. 'The section5 is equipped with a rim '7 whose external surface is fiat-faced toprovide a wrench grip and whose internal surface is screw-threaded toreceive an externally screw-threaded rim portion 8 of the section 6.Interposed between these parts '7 and 8 is a strainer or screen 9 and anappropriate packing ring. The chemicals 4 are preferably in the form ofballs. The section 6 is equipped with a filler neck 9 and a closing cap10. It is further provided with an attaching neck 11 with which a shortlength of pipe 12 is connected. The pipe 12 is in turn connected with aregulating valve 13 of appropriate construction and the valve isconnected through the medium of suitable piping with the intake manifold14 at a point above the carburetor. The section 5 carries an appropriateheated air conducting tube 15 terminating in a shield 16 of appropriatedesign which embraces the exhaust manifold 17 in spaced relation.

It follows that under the suction produced in the intake manifold, theheated air within the vicinity of the exhaust manifold is accumulated inthe shield 16 and is drawn through the pipe 15 and into the casing 3.Here it passes through the straining screen and is acted upon by thechemical elements 4. It also passes through a small screen 18 arrangedin the attaching neck or outlet 11, through the pipe 12 and valve 13 andinto the intake manifold. This heated chemically treated air comingleswith the carbureted mixture, enhances the explosive properties of saidmixture and minimizes carbon deposit in the cylinder.

A careful consideration of the description. in conjunction with thedrawing will enable the reader to obtain a clear understanding of theconstruction, operation and advantages of the invention. Therefore, amore lengthy description is regarded unnecessary.

Minor changes in shape, size and rearrangement of details coming withinthe field of invention claimed may be resorted to in actual practice ifdesired.

What I claim as new is:

In a decarbonizer, a casing comprising frusto-conical sectionsdetachably connected together to form a container for decarbonizingelements, a screen removably clamped between said sections, a fillerneck carried by one section and provided with a removable closing cap,valved pipes connected with said one section and adapted for connectionwith an intake manifold, and an additional pipe connected with theremaining section and provided with a shield adapted to embrace anexhaust manifold in spaced relation to introduce heated air into thecasing.
